Dom C Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I've wanted a Lancia or an Alfa as my first car for ages, well since I was born tbh! Probably because my family has always had them. Now I'm 16 and didn't want something boring so for the past six months I've been keeping an eye out for something I could buy that was a bit cool but still insurable, initially I was looking at Alfasuds but prices were high and spares are nigh on impossible to get. Anyway this popped up on Ebay a couple of weeks ago and a phone call later I won it for a good price. We went to collect it on Wednesday and it got back fine, didn't miss a beat although the brakes need attention. It's just the 1.3l version so isn't the quickest thing in the world but once you get going you never have to slow down as it handles so well. xD It did 35-40mpg on the motorway which aint bad for a 25 year old car on carbs. It's actually the only 1.3 non LX delta on the road in the UK! Dodgy phone pic, hope you like it. Edited April 15, 2013 by Dom C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebo Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 My first car was a 'Sud, took ages 'smartening' it up only to eventually be told it was so twisted after what I'd been told was a "slight bump" it was a death trap! Still it was only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
